How can you tell that there are more people annoyed than people who are
accustomed to the current behavior? I bet that if we change behavior, we are
going to get tons of bug reports (see the already cited xkcd/1172).

And why do you think that the arguments provided by Frank are not good or
convincing?

I'm against adding an option. An additional action/shortcut is the only way to
fix this, imho. If anyone can provide a clean patch with unit tests, I'd be
happy to review it.
